   This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 158 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. I am BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and (this is Lady T.) In this episode of The Beer Is Fundamental Show, we explore the world of whisky while reflecting on our recent adventures. Thanks to Total Wine, we sample a Glengoyne Scotch whisky pack featuring three different expressions, giving us an opportunity to compare and discuss their unique characteristics. We also share highlights from our recent trip to the Barrel and Flow Festival and talk about the latest developments at Stone Brewing, including its plans to exit its three Escondido locations. To round things out, we dive into the differences between Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey, exploring what makes each style distinctive. We are on social media.

   EPISODE #157: We Are Back From Our Summer Hiatus

   This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. We want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. The Beer Is Fundamental Show returns with Episode 157 after our annual summer hiatus. We want to kick off the episode by featuring Kessler Run, a smoky dark lager from BarrieHaus Beer Company in Ybor City, Florida. Known for producing exceptional lagers, BarrieHaus delivers a beer with subtle smoke, toasted bread flavors, and remarkable balance, making it another standout from one of the hosts’ favorite Florida breweries. We reflected on a busy summer spent with family, including time with their grandsons and attending family reunions. BT enjoyed reconnecting with relatives in Tampa, while Lady T’s family reunion took place aboard the Carnival Glory. The cruise exceeded expectations. Great company, enjoyable drinks, and relaxing stops—including Celebration Key, where we sampled local beer while enjoying the beach—made for an unforgettable vacation. The episode also highlights the excitement surrounding the FIFA Club World Cup. We really enjoyed watching elite soccer and seeing international visitors embrace American culture. From oversized food portions and ranch dressing to Buc-ee’s and unexpected free nachos, we appreciated seeing guests experience uniquely American traditions. We also discuss Cabo Verde’s surprising success, the U.S. team’s strong performance despite falling short against Belgium, and the excitement of watching the championship match while aboard the cruise ship. We want to congratulate Debbie Lagone, winner of the Barsys Shaker Pro giveaway, courtesy of Barsys, before looking ahead to one of the year’s premier craft beer events, the Barrel and Flow Festival, where the team will once again provide on-the-ground coverage. Finally, we want to highlight our visit to Tampa’s newly opened Hop State Brewing, located on Benjamin Road, where we toured the brewery, sampled the offerings, and sat down to ask the team about their newest venture in the area’s growing craft beer scene.

   EPISODE #156: Barrels on the Bayou

   This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 155 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. We had a great time in New Orleans at the Barrel on the Bayou Festival. It was put on by the same people that put on the Barrel and Flow Festival in Pittsburgh every August. The festival was at Lafayette Park and it was a great location for it. There was great music, great beer, great food, and great people. Cheers!
